Sutton and Martou Zumwait have completed arrangements to engage in deep sea fishing at Port Orford during the summer moDtbs. They will use long set lines, and will ship their fish fresh to the Coos county market.

Early settlers say that tbe Iudiaus would take a big canoe and paddle out of sight of land and invariably come back with halibut, which would iudicate that there is a bank somewhere off this coast.
